Review of Red Non-Pareils

It's tough to find red non-pareils, but I needed them for some ladybug cupcakes I was making. These were just perfect. I'm glad I ordered 2, though, because I used all of them to coat 24 cupcakes (so 1 container would coat 12 cupcakes).

Product Description
Contains 4 oz.
Ingredients: Sugar, corn starch, confectioner's glaze, FD&C red #3, & #40, yellow #6, blue #2 and carnuba wax.

I used this for a coconut cake, don't waste your money on coconut extract, this is the stuff you want.

Review of Certified Organic Coffee Pods, 'Surf's Up!' Breakfast Blend, 18 Pods

Man, if you have never drank Kona coffee, and you have a senseo or a similar coffee pod machine, you must try these!Sure, they are as expensive as it gets as far as coffee is concerned, but, if you really want a unique experience, and you really love coffee, you will be surprised at the subtleties of true Kona coffee.You don't have to be a conisseur of coffee to appreciate the flavor, just a lover of the stuff.The light roast much subtler than the dark roast, and much more enjoyable to the less than hardcore coffee nut, which makes these particular pods a great try for folks new to the Kona coffee market.I have no idea why coffees from different regions taste so much different, and I really don't even care!All I know is that coffee from Hawaii, especially Kona coffee, it is the best I have tasted so far, and I even think it is worth the huge amounts of cash it costs to drink it...

If the cost is too much, or you don't love coffee, then leave this stuff alone.Otherwise, you are in for a treat!

Review of Fusion Artisan Gourmet Naturally Flavored Sea Salt - Wild Porcini - 3.5oz

Foods that don't overwhelm this subtle taste are really enhanced by this salt.

This is my secret ingredient when I make things like focaccia bread, vinegar and oil dressing, or roasted potatoes.

The lid has a convenient pour side and shake side.

I love the dark, chunky pieces of salt.It not only kicks the flavor up a notch but also the visual appeal.

Review of Apple Butter 3 jars: Jake and Amos

Jake and Amos products are produced in the Amish farmlands of Pennsylvania and sold in the local farmer's markets there.If you're lucky enough to live close by, you can sample these wonderful products.If not, I recommend you try them here.Their apple butter is so creamy and full of real apple flavor, I've never tried better.It's fat free too.They also sell a no sugar added variety.Not only does it make a healthier spread for bread, it's also great on pancakes or waffles, and I've even used it as a condiment for pork chops and roasts.

This is the best cocktail sauce I've ever tasted!Now I can't eat shrimp cocktail with any other sauce.

Product Description
This steak, cocktail and barbecue sauce was made for one of the most beloved dinner entrees, namely Surfand Turf.It is the perfect complement to both surf foods such as lobster or shrimp, and turf foods such as steak and chicken.What makes this Surf and Turf rise above all the others are Hudson Valley's finishing touches to its tomato base:fresh ground horseradish and sweet apricot.A thick, versatile sauce that serves well with many other dishes, such as duck, tofu and rice, to name a few.A naturally fat-free product.

Review of 24 ESE Pods; Aloha Island ESPRESSO PODS - 20% Kona Coffee Blend ESE pods - For Home Espresso Machines; Gorgeous Espresso!

You wake up early on a sunday morning and you turn on your other side because you want to sleep a little more. But then you smell something like scrambled eggs, fried oignon rings and above all the strong scent of espresso...

This is strong coffee like the Italian espresso.Take care you don't boil the water, otherwise it will loses its flavor. The water should be between warm and hot. I use it black with a small lump of brown sugar. A real amateur will tell you that the use of any sugar is sacrilege. But what can I do? The flesh is weak.

Review of Pickled Sweet Brussels Sprouts 3 jars: Jake and Amos

I am lucky enough to be able to get to the Lancaster, PA area once or twice a year.Jake and Amos is one of the brands I always purchase. They have so many delicious, jarred items I could write reviews for days!But this is my favorite, so I thought I would concentrate on this one. They have a sweet and sour flavor that is addicting.I may have never purchased them had I not received a sample at a farmer's market!But they taste amazing, and even the sprout haters in my family like these. They have no fat or cholesterol, either.And there is no preparation, when you want to serve them, just open the jar and put them out!I like to serve them as a side dish with pork or as an alternative to cole slaw.

Review of Dark Chocolate - Almond Bar by LaTienda.com

I originally found these bars on-line and went through the wholesaler to buy them.It's just great that amazon carries them now.
They are a very dark chocolate with a small amount of sugar and these incredible marcona almonds...tons of almonds.
I like other dark chocolate bars, like Dagoba, but they are often skimpy with the add-ins.These bars have just enough chocolate to hold the almonds together.They're more like a food item than a traditional candy bar.
Don't forget: almonds are a great source of calcium, folic acid,and magnesium, and dark chocolate has phenylethylamine, a natural mood elevator in addition to loads of other healthful components.

Product Description
If you can't think of anything more delicious than a generous bar of the very best dark chocolate you can imagine, what about stirring whole marcona almonds into the rich molten pot? That's what they do at Blanxart, the fabled candy maker in Barcelona. Flavor is a matter of personal judgment, so I can't guarantee that this will be the finest chocolate almond bar you have ever tasted. But I would be very surprised if you did not agree. Nothing holds a candle to it.

Review of Brigittine Monks Chocolate Fudge with Nuts

My mother buys tons of this fudge in December to give as gifts. I grew up loving my mom's homemade fudge, but this is hands down the best you can find.

I've only had the Fudge Royale w/ walnuts and the Amaretto, but both are extremely rich and creamy. You definitely have to drink something complimentary (flavored coffee, milk, etc) with each bite.

Review of Bissinger's Naturals Crunch

Bissinger's Naturals CrunchWe've tried the pumpkin and almond varieties and both were wonderful.Hard to stop eating.

Product Description
The most unique health snack. Compelling amounts of research can be found on the positive health properties of chocolate. Working closely with universities and nutritionists, Bissinger's set out to develop a chocolate product that can be eaten daily, which not only fits into a healthy lifestyle, but delivers on great taste. Bissinger's Naturals contain less sodium and carbohydrates than a nutrition bar and less sugar than a nutrition bar, apple or banana.

A delectable center composed of black sesame seeds serves as the core for this treat, surrounded by Bissinger's famous dark chocolate.With twice as much calcium as white sesame seeds, black sesames are also loaded with protein, iron and magnesium and are a good source of essential fatty acids.

Review of Dorothea (8 ounce) by igourmet.com

Dorothea is my favorite cheese for a 'crackers and cheese' snack. It is very smooth and mellow and has a unique flavor that goes well with fruit and after dinner desserts. I don't want to be without it. I will continue to be a 'repeat' customer.

Product Description
On a recent trip to Holland, we discovered a limited production Dutch chevre created in 1993 by the Van Dijk family.Dorothea, named after the Van Dijk's mother, was created at the request of the famous chef Cas Spijkars. Cas wanted to win the annual Dutch award for "Most Unusual Food" and thought that a flavored goat cheese might do the trick.They began experimenting with a secret ingredient - potato skins - chosen because the potato is an important food in Dutch culinary tradition.But Cas thought that initial efforts with the cheese/potato combination fell a little flat, so they kept working.Finally, after tweaking the recipe by adding some basil oil, coriander oil and chopped onion, Cas and the Van Dijks had completed their masterpiece - and subsequently won the award!

Each wheel of Dorothea (only 4,000 are made per year) is pampered with the optimum aging conditions. Humidity and temperature are meticulously adjusted every few days to assure proper maturation. This wonderfully delicious cheese is made from pasteurized milk but retains all of the taste for which goat's milk is famous. It is aged over 60 days to develop a full, nutty flavor and a body that is firm, but not hard enough to grate. Dorothea has an aroma reminiscent of the fresh outdoors and an unforgettable flavor.

  • Made from pasteurized goat's milk, aged 60 days.
  • Photo depicts whole 10 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Review of Whiskey Cheese Board (1.88 pound) by igourmet.com

This was a great gift idea.My husband loves his whiskey, scotch, or whatever.And he loves his cheese, good cheeses.That's what these were.The subtleties of the Whiskey Cheddar were a suprise, since cheddar is usually a very rich flavor.But it was a great compliment to the two others because of their strong flavors.The gouda was a bit on the salty side, but it's a gouda.If you're looking for a good gift idea, this is it.Or a similar item from IGourmet.The only drawback is you have to time the arrival well.The packaging was great, and it was still cold after a couple days of delay due to weather.But I wouldn't want to wait too long to open the product and store it properly.

Product Description
Whiskey traces its roots to the origin of the distilling process, invented by the Celts in the British Isles. It is not known exactly when the first whiskey was produced, as some say the 10th century while others say the 15th century. There are several spellings of the original worduisge beatha (Scots Gaelic) and usquebaugh (Irish) are just two. It is pronounced wee-ska-bah, which means water of life. Produced in Great Britain and Ireland, the recipe was brought by the Scottish and Irish settlers to North America.Whiskey can be smoky, rich, oaky, sweet, peaty, spicy - and always warming. Whether bourbon's your drink, single malts, or just plain old whiskey is your pleasure, we have chosen 3 of the most versatile cheeses to match with this amber water of life.
  • Whisky Cheddar : This particular luscious, tangy, authentic English Cheddar has an additional allure. It blends sweet Farmhouse Cheddar with a whisper of extra fine single malt Scotch Whisky, giving the cheese a slight smoky bite.
  • San Simon : San Simon is aged 2-4 weeks in Spain, lightly pressed and then gently smoked for 2 weeks after leaving the mold. Inside its red, polished brown rind, San Simon has a creamy, buttery, smoky flavor that ranges from mild to piquant.
  • Beemster Classic Extra Aged Farmhouse Gouda : This edible Dutch masterpiece has matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by a uniquely intense yet sweet flavor.
These cheeses come resting upon a very unique cheese board. Made from a real Makers Mark bottle! The original labeled bottle is used, high temperatures slowly melts it and is cooled slowly over 17 hours. The bottle and knife are hand dipped into red wax. Each bottle is unique and made one at a time without any molds.
  • Please Note: Any item out of stock will be substituted with an item of equal or greater value.

Review of Olive and Lemon Oil

I just love this olive oil! It is light and lemony!
I use it on vegetables, fish and with some crsip, tasty Italian bread!

Product Description
This oil is not simply infused with lemons it is made by squeezing olives and lemons together at the time of production. For this reason, we cannot call this an extra virgin olive oil, although it is of the same high quality as our other oils. Use this oil to top shellfish and broiled fish dishes. Use with chopped fruit to enhance a green salad. The unique fresh taste will be a hit with dinner guests!

Review of Wild Boar Bacon (8 ounce) by igourmet.com

I've eaten a lot of bacon in my life, and so far this is the best bacon I've ever had.The first time I tried it was Christmas morning last year - we fried up a batch of this, along with a batch of normal store-bought bacon (and some beef bacon, but we won't talk about that...).Anyways, the store-bought bacon - which I normally consider to be a breakfast treat - tasted like cardboard in my mouth compared to the wild boar bacon.This stuff is the real deal.You won't be disappointed.

Product Description
The wild boar has been hunted for food, for sport or to protect crops against their ravages since the days of the cave men. In the Middle Ages boar hunting with spears and dogs was a royal sport and the serving of a boar's head at the Christmas feast in Merry England was a holdover of a much older pagan rite at the time of the winter solstice. This specialty bacon is simply sumptuous, witha rich flavor and a heady aroma.Perfect for an exotic Sunday brunch with leek scrambled eggs and brioche toast.

Review of Picnic in Luxury Gift Basket (31 pound) by igourmet.com

This same item was $299.00 on the orig. igourmet.com website and I purchased the same exact item from Amazon.com this pastJan. '05 for $199.00, a discount of $100.00.As a result of that bargain I have become an avid Amazon.com fan, so why the price increase now?

Product Description
Everything you need for a picnic for four. From patés and cured meats to gourmet cheeses and Spanish tuna, crackers to cookies, olives and last but not least, dessert for all. The picnic basket is a roller cooler with a collapsible handle and contains a setting for four (plates, knives, forks, spoons, cloth napkins, and wine glasses), cheese board, cheese knife, cork screw, salt and pepper shaker, and packed with reusable moisture guard freeze packs. The compartment that holds all of your dinnerware unzips from the main cooler, becoming a neat briefcase that makes it easy to tote around and bring to wherever your picnic takes you. You can carry the cooler over your shoulder with its handy strap or, if it is too laden with goodies, just extend the handle and wheel it. The roller cooler alone retails for $159. All you will need to supply is a bottle (or two) of wine and friends.Just let igourmet take care of the rest. This outdoor feast includes:

Review of Badia a Colitbuono Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Badia a Coltibuono olive oil is a legend, deservedly so. But be forewarned -- if you are used to the bland olive oils sold mass market in most supermarkets, the strong assertive character may come as somewhat of a shock. As noted in the Amazon product description, "according to Deborah Krasner in "The Flavors of Olive Oil", this oil "...is strongly and pleasantly bitter, with a pronounced burn....'It made my face scrunch up.' Very green and grassy, this is an oil made for drizzling."" I would tend to agree with that. In my opinion, this is really at it's best drizzled over grilled meats, vegetables and salads almost as a condiment. For dipping bread and most cooking (it's too expensive for most chefs on a budget like mine anyway) you might prefer an oil from Sicily, Spain, Australia or California, which are softer and more buttery. That said, for purists, this may be the right olive oil even for bread dipping. It's flavors and aromas are remarkably complex and powerful.

Product Description
Badia a Coltibuono means "Abbey of the Good Harvest". The classic extra virgin olive oil of the same name has been produced in the Chianti region of Tuscany since 1058. This extra virgin olive oil is an authentic product entirely extracted by natural meth

Review of Cheese Babka 3 Packs

I'm a babka lover beginning over 55 years ago, indulging in Eastern European foods at the home of my Lithuanian grandparents.This bakery makes some of the best babkas I've had; better even than (defunct?) ebabka.com. These are much more moist; more soft cheese in the batter, I assume.And, raisens galore, Oh Joy!The price could not be better either. My last order took quite a while to arrive, whereas the first came much faster.I just hope this means they have many online orders to fill.Want something a bit plain, not too sweet, but definitely of the coffee cake species?Nothing better.My favorite pig-out food.

Product Description
Save $3.00 by getting 3 of our Cheese Babkas. A sweet, hand kneaded yeast bread filled with Raisins and Cheese filling. These Babkas are very large. Almost the size of a soccer ball. They are loved by our local cutomers and it has been said that our Babka is the best they have ever tasted anywhere.
